computerless control of 828mk2/Ultralite as Standalone Mixer

Post by JES »

Hi All,

I have an 828mk2 and am considering an Ultralite. I know MOTU advertises standalone mixer capability with these devices, but I've always found the interface quite fiddly. I also know MOTU is now advertising iPad control via touchOSC. Here are my questions:

1. Is there a way, using a MIDI interface for iPad, to control MOTU devices directly without using a computer? OR

2. Is there way to control the mixer channel levels via MIDI?

My planned application is to use it as a mixer combined with an Octatrack and a bunch of analog effects.

Thank you!
